Get Connected

Showcase your business online by joining the Get Connected program.

About

The Get Connected program gives you the opportunity to showcase your visitor experiences on Destination NSW’s consumer websites free of charge and tap into more than 1.5 million potential customers a month, both domestic and international - that’s over 18.5 million people a year.

Simply register details of your tourism offering with the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW). ATDW is a centralised database of more than 90,000 Australian visitor experiences, supplying over 70 leading websites including australia.com.

To take advantage of this service, you simply register via the ATDW-Online website, which is the national digital tourism platform that powers the Get Connected Program.

Register online

Once you have successfully registered and entered your product details into the ATDW-Online database, they will be reviewed to ensure they meet eligibility criteria. The listing will then be available for publishing on a number of distributor websites, including:

  • visitnsw.com | Destination NSW’s primary consumer website attracts over 11 million visits a year.
  • sydney.com | This international website, has market and language specific versions for the following countries: Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Germany, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Malaysia, India and Singapore.
  • australia.com | Tourism Australia’s website delivers information to customers worldwide and is the primary call to action in Tourism Australia’s international tourism marketing and promotional activities.
  • Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) | A centralised database of more than 90,000 Australian tourism product and destinations, supplying NSW product to 70 plus websites including australia.com.

Why you should be part of ATDW

ATDW can get your product listing and details to a larger audience network through websites and portals, so more consumers will see your product, and potentially book it. It’s a great way for tourism operators with limited promotion budgets to publicise their services.

Through the Get Connected program, Destination NSW gives you the opportunity to showcase your tourism product online free of charge through the ATDW. You only need to enter your information once and your details will be on the ATDW which will then feed through to visitnsw.com and sydney.com and any other relevant distributor website.

What to do if an ATDW distributor contacts you

Occasionally ATDW distributors contact operators with offers of premium advertising space on their websites, reservation services or other online marketing opportunities.

ATDW distributors must follow the ATDW Distributor Communications Guidelines. These guidelines aim to protect the interests of tourism operators, especially from other irrelevant or poor quality unsolicited offers.

Operators are listed free of charge on a distributor’s website or digital channel as a condition of the ATDW License Agreement.

If you do not wish to receive further offers or updates from a distributor, you can ‘unsubscribe’ from its email service.

Any offers you receive to upgrade or change your listing should be considered on its merits, just like any offer to advertise in the media.
